"My friend Marcy planted a tree in my honor and that was one of the nicest gifts I have ever received." ~Azar S.
"Thank you for coming up with such a thoughtful and proactive way to honor someone, and replenish our natural resources at the same time.

Overview
Whether it's a birthday, an anniversary, the winter holidays or another occasion that you're gearing up to celebrate, you want to give something that is special and unique. But how often do the baubles and trinkets that we give for gifts really get used? Once presents are unwrapped, they can be quickly forgotten and end up being just more "stuff" in that special person's home. By giving that friend or family member a Trees for a Change All Occasion Tree Gift, you can present that person with something truly original and that will do good for the entire planet long after the gift is received.
The Perfect Unique Gift for All Occasions -
Our All Occasion Tree Gifts are a touching way to honor a special person for any occasion. Available for less than the cost of sending flowers or purchasing gifts that can be used only a few times, our gifts live for years and pay tribute to a person in a way that is certain to touch his or her heart. People of all ages love to receive our All Occasion Tree Gifts, and even kids will love the idea of a tree being planted especially for them.
A Gift That Gives Back -
When you purchase one of our All Occasion Tree Gifts, a tree will be planted in a U.S. National Forest in honor of the recipient. Once the tree is planted, the recipient will receive online access to photos of their tree and even get data about its geographic location. The name of the recipient will be recorded on our online Tree Gift Registry for posterity as well. All of the All Occasion Tree Gifts come with a card that provides all of the information about the gift and how it works.
Options for Every Budget-
With Trees for a Change All Occasion Tree Gifts, you can choose from three gift options to suit your budget. Our Tree Gift Cards are an economical option and provide the recipient with the standard card, the gift registry listing and online access to the card. If you want to add a special message to your gift, choose our Personalized Tree Gift. For just a few dollars more, we'll add your note to the explanation card and include a personalized certificate that the recipient can display.
To make the occasion extra special, you can opt for our Personalized Grove of Trees gift and have at least five trees planted for one low price. This option includes the same great personalized extras as the Personalized Tree Gift. When you choose a personalized gift, we can send it directly to the recipient on your behalf, or we can send it to you for you to present. This option is ideal if you wish to sign the card, include an enclosure or place it with another gift.
Our mission here at Trees for a Change is to provide thoughtful, meaningful gifts that live on to restore fire devastated forest lands. It would be nice if we could offer more choice in planting areas, but our priority is planting trees where they are needed most.
We hope you agree that when it comes to giving a gift that is about LIFE, a gift that truly honors someone, putting the trees where that life will make the biggest difference is the best thing we could possibly do.
We estimate about how many trees we'll need to plant for each calendar year, then the trees are planted that year in the early summer (this is the best time for survival.) We move our planting project to a new location once we've dedicated all the trees we planted that year. We do things this way so folks who receive tree gifts in the last half of the year don't have to wait all the way until the following summer to find out about their trees. Rest assured, each and every tree gift given through Trees for a Change has a baby tree or trees accounted for in the designated planting location.
The card that accompanies the tree gift has information printed on the inside left. This info explains the gift and directs the recipient to the "Find Trees" feature on the website.
